Chapter 67: Four Beasts
The spread silk cloth is much wider than expected, and is a translucent silk cloth about three meters long and one meter wide. The silk cloth is divided into four parts, up, down, left and right, each embroidered with an exquisite pattern.
Everyone could recognize the animals at a glance. They were four divine beasts, the above is the Xuanwu, the lower is the Vermillion Bird, the left is the White Tiger, and the right is the Blue Dragon. Around the four divine beasts is a Bagua diagram with a circle on the outside and a square inside. In the middle of the picture, the word "Shou" is embroidered.
"This, this, this is the picture of the four beasts!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and the shocked voice made everyone in the audience look at him.
"Four Beasts Picture!" As soon as the man finished speaking, an old friend of Guan Peihua exclaimed: "Is it really the Four Beasts Picture?"
The man who recognized the Four Beasts Picture walked up as if he had seen some treasure and asked An Zhisu in anticipation: "Miss, can I touch it?"
An Zhisu nodded calmly: "Please give me some advice."
The man was so excited that he wiped his hands on his clothes, and then he carefully lifted up the silk cloth and carefully stroked the embroidery on it.
Other people who were not aware of the art looked at the embroidery patterns in a daze. They could only see that the craftsmanship was very exquisite, and the four divine beasts appeared vividly, like floating on silk cloth. They had a 3D three-dimensional vision, which made people feel very incredible.
"It's the Four Beasts Picture, yes, I can't read it wrong. This is definitely the Four Beasts Picture." After a moment, the man spoke again, and his tone this time was particularly affirmative.
All those who knew how to do were shocked. Looking at An Zhisu's eyes were like looking at a godly man.
"What is the Four Beasts Picture?" Finally, some people who didn't know how to do it couldn't help but ask curiously.
The man who first recognized the Four Beasts Pictures kindly answered the doubts of those who do not understand the knowledge: "As the name suggests, the Four Beasts Pictures are pictures composed of four divine beasts, such as Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, Green Dragon and White Tiger. The beast is homophoned with the longevity, and can also be called the Four Beast Pictures. It is a picture made from ancient times to the present, which is mostly used to celebrate the birthdays of elders. Usually, there are two forms of production of the Four Beast Pictures, one is painting, and the second is embroidery. Painting is generally a common method used by painters, and embroidery is a common method used by embroidery girls. Whether it is the former or the latter, the difficulty coefficient is quite high. Especially the latter, the drawing is made with embroidery and embroidered with stitches.
It is by no means a matter of one day or one night.
This little girl is amazing. I just looked at it carefully. The little girl still uses the double-sided embroidery technique in Suzhou embroidery. Double-sided embroidery is the most difficult embroidery method. At this point, this birthday gift is no longer something that money can estimate."
As the old man said, the items were priceless, but their intentions were priceless. They thought that the cheongsam that Yang Xi gave was sewn by himself was already a very thoughtful gift. Little did they know that there were people who were more attentive than her, and the embroidered stitches were all full of blessings to Guan Peihua.
Whether it is meaning or friendship, it is far more valuable than Yang Xi's cheongsam.
"It turns out that Professor Guan has such a skillful student. It's really rare. Professor Guan is very lucky, and all the students he teaches are outstanding." Some of the guests said enviously.
"Yes, Professor Guan, why didn't this student listen to you?"
"Professor Guan, this student learned embroidery from you. He is better than the blue one. The embroidery is so good."
"That's right? I saw that the four divine beasts were like living." The voices of praise for An Zhisu were all in my ears, as if they could pierce Yang Xi's eardrum. She clenched her fists and said loudly: "Don't be fooled by her, this was not embroidered by her. She didn't know before that Professor Guan was about to celebrate his birthday, or that I told her last week, in just one week.
, How could she embroider a picture of four beasts? Such a large picture cannot be embroidered in less than half a year!"
When Yang Xi said this, the guests' praise came to an abrupt end. It was like the sea surface that had just receded, as quiet as a painting.
Yang Xi continued to work hard and looked at Guan Peihua and said, "Professor Guan, do you know the best, right? Can such an embroidery picture be embroidered by a person in just seven or eight days? She doesn't know where to trick you, and wants to gain your favor."
Guan Peihua was stunned and then realized. Yang Xi was right. Such a huge embroidery picture could never be embroidered overnight. Even when she was young, it would take half a year.
Seeing that Guan Peihua's face turned from happiness and joy to calm, the guests seemed to understand, and they began to whisper again, saying things like An Zhisu gave birth to Buddha through flowers. The surrounding discussion made Yang Xi smile again, and continued, "An Zhisu, why are you so despicable? Professor Guan used to be so kind to you. Even if you don't want to prepare gifts for her, you shouldn't deceive her with something from someone else, right? A person like her is not worthy of being Guan.
Professor’s student!”
Song Jiaren couldn't bear tolerate her anymore. She was about to speak up to her when An Zhisu, who had been silent, slowly spoke: "Teacher, don't you believe this is what I embroidered?"
Guan Peihua opened her mouth. It was not that she didn't believe that An Zhisu could not embroider it, but that she didn't believe that she could embroider it in such a short time. This was simply impossible.
"Zhisu, the teacher is very happy that you can come to celebrate the teacher's birthday. The gift is second. Did you embroider it? The teacher has received all the feelings." Guan Peihua thought for a while, and said a compromise.
Yang Xi was happy and snorted, "Did you hear that? Professor Guan doesn't believe it's you embroidered it. You are so hateful. I think you are here to celebrate your birthday, it's clearly here to make things difficult for Professor Guan."
An Zhisu's delicate little face embellished with cosmetics was slightly white, and her heart felt a little blunt. It was not because Yang Xi said these ugly words, but because her teacher, whether five years ago or five years later, refused to believe her.
An Zhisu closed her eyes and tried hard to force her tears back. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were already clear and confident. She curled the corners of her lips slightly: "You are right. Such a large picture of four beasts cannot be embroidered in seven or eight days."
"Haha, An Zhisu, you finally admit it, admit it's not..."
